At that moment, Jim chose to reveal to his father that Rachel wasn't a biological child of the Lloyd family, and he intended to make that information public soon.

How could someone from the Ziegler family marry an ordinary woman? If word were to spread, it would make them the butt of everyone's jokes!

    Rachel's life had changed drastically ever since she found out she wasn't her parents' biological child. She had no idea who her biological parents were. She felt like an abandoned child no one wanted, with no place to call her home. She even pretended to like Yvette, pleasing the latter just to feel accepted.Rachel wanted nothing else except to stay in the home she grew up in and be with her parents.But Yvette hated having Rachel around, and did everything to sow discord. Eventually, she caused their grandfather to chase Rachel out of the house.Coincidentally, Rachel met William, whom she thought was the man who would save her. Yet, he turned out to push her deeper into the abyss.During this period, Rachel had come to terms with a lot of things.She had become too reliant on William, to the point of using him to heal her psychological wounds.Now, she realized that she was the only one who could heal those wounds. If she chose to rely on a man, she would lose everything if

    At that moment, Rachel had a strong urge to kick Tyler out. She knew how much he liked seeing others get embarrassed. He loved seeing the world burn.The gears in her mind shifted quickly, and found the perfect excuse."Dad, it's like this. I bumped into Mr. Hunt's doctor before. Two days ago, I encountered some hooligans, and it was Mr. Hunt who saved me from the situation. He even got hurt in the process."Jim surveyed Rachel head to toe anxiously. "Are you alright?""I'm fine, but Mr. Hunt got hurt because of me. He's still recovering from a wound on his back from that incident."Rachel heaved a sigh of relief when she saw Jim focusing his attention on her potentially getting hurt.She turned and saw Tyler staring at her with his deep, dark eyes, a smile on his face.That smile gave her goosebumps.There were too many unfathomable emotions in his eyes. Sometimes she didn't dare to look into them, for fear that she might lose herself in that vortex of emotions.There was a

    Rachel didn't want anything to crop up at this critical juncture.If her grandfather were to find out that she had private dealings with Tyler, he might just break her legs.Tyler threw Rachel a seemingly careless glance, but from the corner of her eyes, she could sense his gaze resting on her for at least three to four seconds.Those few seconds were surely enough for some of them to notice something.Tyler smirked and said in a low voice, "Singing."Jim was surprised to hear that. "Singing? This is my first time hearing of something like that. I've heard of other treatment methods, home remedies, and even needle therapy, but I've never heard of singing as a form of treatment. Does playing any song work?"Tyler hummed pensively before answering, "I don't think so. Someone has to sing it. Songs played over a speaker won't work."Sasha hurriedly jumped in. "Mr. Hunt, Yvette is a pretty good singer. Why don't you let her sing you some songs when it's convenient for you?"Yvette h

    One thing Rachel was in awe of Sasha for was her ability to stab another in the back. Her attacks were always sneaky and never aboveboard.Yet, Sasha could pretend to treat her enemy as her daughter in the public eye.Rachel knew clearly how much Sasha detested her mother, Melanie. Yet, Sasha would still encourage them to pay their respects to Melanie and say things like how she always saw Melanie as a dear sister.From what Rachel remembered, however, Sasha had always tried to hurt Melanie behind her back. Sasha would look friendly and helpful on the surface, but seduce Jim without Melanie knowing. They walked to the door, but the sudden arrival of an unexpected guest gave them a rude shock.The man was dressed in a black suit, his hair combed back neatly, which added a stern yet aggressive edge to his usual chilly demeanour and accentuated his sharp facial features.His deep, dark gaze swept across everyone in the room before he said respectfully, "Mr. Lewis, I came here to pa

    "I also heard that William is always with another woman. Is your marriage on the rocks?" Yvette pressed. Rachel pursed her lips. She had never been good at putting up an act before others, especially when Yvette's words hit the nail on the head.Yvette's eyes lit up, as though she had discovered something groundbreaking."So it's true!"Rachel's face flushed with embarrassment.Just as the tension in the air was growing, one of the servants announced, "Mr. Lewis of Lewis Enterprise is here."Rachel heard it clearly. The servant addressed him as Mr. Lewis of Lewis Enterprise, not the son-in-law of this family. He was here, and not back home.She had long gotten used to it, but the servants' address of William was like a stab in her chest. The scar that had barely healed started bleeding once more.William entered, carrying many bags. So was Arsen, who was behind him.Sasha was shocked by their generous gesture. She immediately approached them with an ingratiating smile."Mr.
